What has been the main option for a long time – i.e. relocating basically all physics and chemistry to Science Village – is no longer relevant. The costs would be too high and the logistics of providing first and second-cycle education in particular would be difficult to organise. “This was crucial. The costs plus the fact that everything indicated that if we had relocated first and second-cycle e

Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments. Previous research has investigated the presence of heavy metals in hedgehogs from other urban areas in Europe and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have used a neuropeptide to successfully reduce seizure-like activity in tissue from patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. One challenge facing researchers who study brain diseases is that for understandable reasons it is difficult to obtain human brain tissue for experiments.

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

Eating cheese and cream with a high fat content may be linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. This is shown by a new large-scale study from Lund University. The researchers analysed the dietary habits of more than 27,000 people and linked these to the occurrence of dementia over a follow-up period of up to 25 years. The debate about low-fat diets has long shaped our health advice and influ

Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using
